“In da Bginnin God cre8d da heavens & da Earth." So begins the SMS version of the Bible as translated by Australia's Bible Society. You can access all 31,173 verses for free via a 7MB download from their site and then amass an approx $8000 bill to spread the Word (based on 25¢ a text!).
UPDATE: Well, that seemed to be the way it would work based on the report I read in The Daily Telegraph. What I should have understood from reading it is that you can download a program from Australia's Bible Society and install it on your computer; this program then works as an index/interface with their system. You then start an account with them and as you send out messages via your/this system (you can also do it via mobile phone with the right configurations) you spend down your credit. (As Sooz says, there's no such thing as a free Bible - although once, on the corner of George and Park Streets in the City, there was a man handing out free copies of the New Testament.)
